next_link = Amar (song)"Foi Magia" (English translation: "It Was Magic") was the Portuguese entry in the
Eurovision Song Contest 2004 , performed in Portuguese bySofia Vitória .The song is an up-tempo number, with Vitória singing about how she felt when she first saw her lover, a feeling she describes as "magic" and otherwise impossible to explain.
As Portugal had not finished the 2003 Contest in the top 10, the song was performed in the semi-final. Here it was performed seventh (following
Andorra 'sMarta Roure with "Jugarem A Estimar-Nos " and precedingMalta 's Julie & Ludwig with "On Again...Off Again "). At the close of voting, it had received 38 points, placing 15th in a field of 22, thus failing to qualify for the final and requiring Portugal to qualify from the semi-final at the next Contest.It was succeeded as Portuguese representative at the 2005 Contest by 2B with "Amar".
